CS452 Real Time Programming
This µKernel and OS were originally written by Nikolas Ilerbrun and myself (Mark Rada) as part of our real time programming course at the University of Waterloo.
The OS is designed for high performance, real time applications. The original application of the OS was able to automatically navigate and drive multiple model trains around a course without colliding. The final project included a small game where a user could manually control a train while being chased by a computer controlled train. Only the OS remains now, but the code for the application still exists in the repository history.
While we never thought to make a video of our trains in action, other students from a previous offering of the course have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8HsQTIZ5e0.
The current goal of the OS is to be ported to the Raspberry Pi for personal projects in home automation. There are also certain parts of the OS that I would like to clean up or improve.
- Fill-in TODO
- Implement a PiroritySend to put message at front of queue (for clock notifier)
- More flexible name server
- Fix clock UI timing (the UI gets temporarily out of sync under load)
- Fix clock server pq usage (minor)
